Growing up in sugarcane and rice country in Southern Louisiana, I understand the importance of helping farmers identify, predict and diagnose crop disease and stress. That’s why The Climate Corporation’s Geospatial Sciences team is inviting you to engage with local FFA and PAS Chapters to participate in our first-ever corn disease and stress image contest to develop what we anticipate will become the largest disease image database in existence. This database will help train the artificial intelligence systems we are building to diagnose and predict corn diseases in your fields. Ultimately, the goal is to help you save time and protect yield.

I know it is a busy time for you, I hope you can find time to help your local chapters participate in the contest for their chance to win a prize of up to $500. Here’s how you can help:

Engage with local FFA and PAS chapters allowing them to scout your fields to spot diseases and stress in your corn fields
